Typing— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer directly and clearly. Start with a concise topic sentence stating your preference, avoid contradictions and fillers (e.g., "umm"). Give one or two specific reasons using linking words (e.g., "because", "and"), and keep to under five sentences.

예시: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me concentrate and remember information better. For example, when I take notes by hand in lectures I retain key points more effectively, and I find handwriting less distracting than typing on a device.

제안: This is a good, structured answer. To improve further, eliminate hesitations (e.g., "well"), add a linking phrase to signal contrast (e.g., "however"), and be slightly more concise while keeping specific details.

예시: I usually type on a laptop keyboard because I bring my laptop to classes and cafes, which makes it convenient. However, at home I sometimes use a desktop keyboard because it feels more comfortable and allows me to type faster.

제안: Keep the structure: state when, then give specific supporting details. Avoid contradicting earlier statements and correct grammar and clarity. Use linking words (e.g., "and", "but") and avoid repetition. Also correct tense/word choice and be specific about current ability.

예시: I learned to type when I was eight by attending after-school classes and practising almost every day, which improved my speed and accuracy quickly. However, now I type more slowly when I'm tired and sometimes make mistakes when writing long emails or essays, so I still try to practise regularly.

제안: Good clear answer with methods and results. Improve by using present tense to describe current habits (if ongoing), remove redundancy ("in order to"→"to"), and add a linking phrase about frequency or progress (e.g., "as a result", "so").

예시: I improve my typing by practising regularly with online exercises and games, usually for 15–20 minutes each day. As a result, my speed and accuracy have increased, and I continue to focus on accuracy first, then gradually increasing speed.

× Definitely. I can't say I prefer handwriting because I feel much better in handwriting.

✓ Definitely. I can't say I prefer handwriting because I feel much more comfortable handwriting.

The phrase 'much better in handwriting' uses 'better' awkwardly with 'in'; 'comfortable' is the correct adjective to describe feeling when handwriting. Also use 'much more comfortable' to modify the adjective 'comfortable'. Suggestion: use appropriate adjective (comfortable) and correct modifier order (much more + adjective).

× Umm, but typing counts focus more.

✓ Umm, but typing helps me focus more.

'Counts focus more' is ungrammatical: the verb 'count' is incorrectly used and adverb placement is wrong. Use 'help' + base verb to express that typing causes increased focus: 'helps me focus more'. Ensure the adverb 'more' follows the verb phrase 'focus'.

× Well, I usually type on a laptop keyboard because I take my laptop to classes and cafes so it is more convenient for longer work.

✓ Well, I usually type on a laptop keyboard because I take my laptop to classes and cafes, so it is more convenient for longer work.

This sentence primarily needed a comma before the conjunction 'so' to join clauses correctly; tense is fine (present simple). The correction improves sentence structure and readability. Suggestion: include comma before coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses.

× At home I sometimes connect a desktop keyboard because it feels more comfortable and faster to use.

✓ At home I sometimes connect a desktop keyboard because it feels more comfortable and faster to use.

No change necessary; preposition usage is acceptable. (Included here only if strict list enforcement requires a check; in practice sentence is correct.)

× I learned to type on a keyboard when I was eight.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was eight.

Sentence is correct past tense; no change needed.

× I attended after school classes and practiced almost every day, which helped me improve my speed and accuracy quickly.

✓ I attended after-school classes and practiced almost every day, which helped me improve my speed and accuracy quickly.

Add hyphen in the compound adjective 'after-school' to follow standard structure. Otherwise sentence structure and tense are correct. Suggestion: hyphenate compound adjectives before nouns.

× Now I can't type quite fast and really make mistakes when I when writing essays and emails.

✓ Now I can't type very fast and I really make mistakes when writing essays and emails.

Problems: 'quite fast' is acceptable but 'very fast' is more natural here; the original repeats 'when' incorrectly ('when I when writing'). Also missing subject 'I' before 'really make mistakes'. Correction adds 'I' and removes duplicate 'when'. Suggestion: ensure subjects are present and avoid duplicated words.

× In order to improve my typing skills, I practiced regularly using online typing exercises and games.

✓ In order to improve my typing skills, I practiced regularly using online typing exercises and games.

Sentence is grammatically correct: 'using' appropriately follows 'practiced regularly'. No change needed.

× By practicing everyday and focusing on accuracy as well as speed, I became faster and more accurate.

✓ By practicing every day and focusing on accuracy as well as speed, I became faster and more accurate.

'Everyday' is an adjective meaning ordinary; here the adverbial phrase 'every day' (two words) is required to mean 'each day'. Suggestion: use 'every day' for frequency; otherwise tense and structure are correct.
